639 Getting Paid to Work

Old Fang probably didn’t want a child to stand in front of him, so he reached out to protect Chu Yuen a few times.

A group of brawny tattooed men stood opposite Chu Yuen. Their faces were blank and looked rather intimidating.

The leader was smiling, but it was obvious that he was merely putting on a front.

As they got closer, Chu Ning heard their conversation clearly.

The leader laughed and said, “Your President Chu isn’t here yet? Not even caring about such a big business?”

“I’ve already called her. She’ll be here soon.” Chu Yuen tried his best to keep his expression calm. “What exactly do you want?”

The man continued to smile calmly. “I don’t want anything. I’m just taking money from others and helping them eliminate disasters.” He pretended to sigh. “We have to make a living too. There’s no reason for us to make things difficult for a business upstart like President Chu. But who knows which big shot President Chu has offended?”

His smile had a hint of ruthlessness. “The higher-ups have given the order, so our subordinates can only follow.”

Chu Yuen was about to speak when he heard Chu Ning’s voice from the side. “Oh? I wonder who I offended to get into this mess? Sir, you might as well tell me and do me a favor so that we can meet in the future.”

Chu Yuen was delighted, but he was also worried about Chu Ning’s safety. He really couldn’t handle the big scene there. He had called Chu Ning to delay and to get help.

He didn’t expect her to be alone. Chu Yuen didn’t find any helpers and suspected that they were hiding in the dark. He kept scanning the surroundings with his eyes, hoping to find some clues.

Chu Ning looked calm and composed, but her palms were already slippery with sweat. However, she could not reveal her fear. Fifth Brother was on the way. She just had to hold on until he arrived.

The leader narrowed his eyes. A dark light flashed across his eyes. “President Chu, you’re not in a hurry. Aren’t you worried that your subordinates will lose their arms and legs?”

“Aren’t you guys here for me?” Chu Ning stood in front of Chu Yuen. “There’s no need to make things difficult for innocent people. After all, they’re just workers.”

The leader of the group stopped smiling and waved his hand. “Brothers, beat them up. Don’t show mercy.”

Chu Ning held the iron rod tightly in front of her. There was a constant commotion behind her. Some workers were so afraid that they wanted to escape.

Chu Yuen wanted to rush out and fight with the gangsters, but saw that they were holding the weapons in their hands expressionlessly, and some could throw an adult man out with their bare hands, Chu Ning could only hold on to Chu Yuan and try to stall for time.

The leader lit a cigarette and took a puff. He looked at the workers with satisfaction as they either got beaten up or ran away. “President Chu, don’t hold a grudge against me. I know you have connections too. Call them over as well. Let’s have a good time.”

After saying that, he frowned. “Two brothers, come and entertain President Chu and her brother. Impolite idiots. Don’t you know who are the important figures?”

Before he could finish his sentence, two burly men rushed over. Chu Yuen was grabbed by the collar. There was a small dagger hidden in Chu Yuan’s hand. He spun around and stabbed it into the hand of the person who grabbed him.

That person did not expect to be stabbed. His face was twisted in pain as he desperately tried to shake Chu Yuen off. The situation had changed. Like a wolf cub, Chu Yuen grabbed onto the man tightly and did not let go. He pulled out his dagger and stabbed the man’s shoulder. Blood splattered everywhere.

Someone behind Chu Ning lightened his footsteps and raised his fist to smash down fiercely. Chu Yuen was entangled with a new enemy and could not escape in time. He screamed at her to get out of the way.

Chu Ning saw that the momentum was not right. She lowered her head and dodged the fist that came from behind her. She turned around and hit the attacker’s abdomen without hesitation. No matter how tough the man was, he retched after being hit in the stomach.

Chu Ning seized the opportunity and hit the man’s head with her rod. The rod bent and Chu Ning’s hand was numb from the shock. However, the man did not fall down. He had on a ferocious expression and was about to grab Chu Ning when Chu Ning raised her foot and kicked him. The pain from being attacked in the lower body and the delay from being hit in the head came together — the person finally fell to the ground.

The siblings stood back-to-back, threatening everyone like wolves. The people who surrounded them were also intimidated by their aura and did not continue.

The leader was a little annoyed. “A bunch of trash! All of you! Get them! You can’t even do anything about two children! What’s the use of me providing for you good-for-nothings!”

As he spoke, he kicked the man closest to him. He was so angry that he almost wanted to take action himself.
